Tasting Notes
From our Chief Tea Taster
Aroma
Pronounced notes of malt, yellow raisins along with faint tones of cocoa
Appearance
Dark Amber
Taste
A rich, full-bodied cup that starts with vibrant malty accents, gradually revealing a sweet texture reminiscent of date palm and yellow raisins. This evolving sweetness adds a distinct texture to the liquor, enhancing its overall character.
You can discern a smooth, well-rounded mouthfeel with a pleasingly crisp texture. Subtle stone-fruity notes appear at the edges, gradually giving way to a faint whisper of cocoa, contributing to the tea's multi-dimensional flavor profile.
The finish is clean, with light caramelized accents that linger pleasantly. A refreshing astringency persists, leaving a satisfying aftertaste that invites another sip, while the subtle sweetness and complexity highlight the tea’s refined character.
